Since the beginning of November I've been taking singing classes. Every Sunday at 7 p.m. I meet up with my singing teacher, to practice and learn something new.

The ordinary meeting is divided into three main parts:

-part one(10-15 minutes) - voice warm-up, singing loudly.
-part two(35-40 minutes) - developing new techniques, practicing vibrato.
-part three(5 minutes) - cooling down the diaphragm.

Despite the fact that classes give me satisfaction, through the classes I was able to achieve important outcomes, I've shown show perseverance and commitment, because I am really interested in that, and I haven't missed a single class so far! In such activities commitment and perseverance are very vital because without them student cannot achieve what he wants, and I have a certain goals, I do not want to become a professional singer, however, I want to be able to sing well, because I simply enjoy doing it. Hopefully thanks to this activity I managed to achieve one of CAS learning outcomes and I am satisfied about it.

2. This is also undertaking new challenges, even though this is not my first experience with music, I used to play guitar, for the first time I thought that I could sing. Singing is not an easy activity, especially considering the fact that I am not young enough, but thanks to that it gives me more satisfaction when I do something correct. I like challenges and singing is both, pleasurable and challenging, which means that, although, it's hard I like doing it.

Time: 1.5 hours per sessiom
Total time: approximately 50 hours


With my classmate Oscar Lange we have decided to run a basketball team in our school.Together we thought that we could achieve something and have a lot of fun as well. We want to keep fit and have a little break from school, by having balanced life which consist of both study & sport.

So far we’ve managed to talk with the Headmaster who agreed and supported the idea. Personally I’m really looking forward to it, because I know how sport is important in everyday life.

We’ve prepared two versions of posters, recruited the team and after the mock exams we would like to start. By now we meet up once a week on Friday and play for approximately 70 minutes, but we’re planning to do trainings on Wednesday and Thursdays also.

This definitely is a planned and initiated action as it was our own idea and initiative. This activity definitely demands some devotion and work, it's not easy to set everything up to working, especially considering the fact that we have a lot of school work, however, I am sure that through this activity both of us learned how to plan actions and as it was our own idea we showed the initiative. For me organizing events and other actions is really entertaining and gives me satisfaction, I think that everything is going alright and thanks to that activity, except for the basketball, we will improve in many other areas, such as
planning and initiating actions.

This activity is all about working collaboratively with others, it isn't involving only one or two persons, but the whole team, and for the team to work well, the cooperation is something that cannot be lacking. So far we are really getting on with each other well, we have other opinions on some aspects, but we do manage to be productive and my cooperation with the teammates is very good. Not only we have common interests - basketball, but also we have many other subjects to discuss. This activity taught me that I have to listen to others, in order to achieve something, and that opinions of other people might be useful as well, and I'm happy that I have understood it so far.

Aspect - Creativity
Time - 5 hours

I do a lot of projects in Photoshop and Illustrator because I am pretty fluent in these programs. I had a great opportunity to participate in the free contest, my work did not win, but it took third place, I've put a lot of effort into it, because I wanted it to be as good as possible. It took me about 5 hours and I think that for the amount of time I spent it's a good job. Another outcome that I have achieved thanks to the activity is "undertaking new challenges", I wasn't sure if I shall participate in the contest, due to the fact that I don't have much free time and I am really involved in school affairs, but I am really happy that finally I decided to go for it.

1. It increased the awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth because I both knew I could take the first place and I'm satisfied with what I achieved because other participants were really gifted. I know that there is still room for me to grow and improve, because I am still young person who can achieve a lot. I think that every activity we do teaches us something and we should learn something from it. Preparing that logo taught me that if we try hard for something we can achieve it.

2. Thanks to that activity I  have also developed a new skill. I discovered a new, interesting and a very vital feature in Photoshop - how to create the three dimensional effect. Everything that we do should bring us somewhere, this activity taught me that there we are never too old and that there is never too late to improve and to learn something.
